I hope, this isn't to much OT: I've found this mini distribution for USB
Flash drives (about 50-60 M): 

 http://www.goosee.com/puppy/

It contains Scribus 1.2.1, Firefox (with the flash plug-in) or Opera,
Sylpheed, Skype, Fvwm95 or JWM...

Refer to this German site for a quick overview of the most important

The only thing you need is a Pentium PC with at least 128 MB RAM and an USB  pen drive :)
